Spokesman defends actions of butcher in public cow slaughter

(WTIC) Bloomfield Police reports describe the incident that unfolded July 13th at the Bloomfield Home Depot.

Employees from Saba Live Poultry tracked down a runaway cow cornering it by the loading dock.

Bloomfield Officer Brendan Danaher was on scene. He saw one man try to shoot a bow and arrow at the cow but missed. He then described what happened next stating, “Three of the employees grabbed onto the cow and while I believed they were going to restrain it with a rope or another tethering device one employee pulled out a knife and proceeded to cut the cow’s throat.”

All of this played out in front of shocked onlookers including a male teenager who was quoted by Danaher as saying, “I can’t believe I just saw that.”
